Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Pointer in function parameter?
But what if I have
void aFunc(const A* aPtr) {
 // access aPtr
 }
should I change it to
void aFunc(const shared_ptr<A> aPtr) {
 // access aPtr
 }
[Nat] 'const A*' is "pointer to const A".
'const shared_ptr<A>' is "const shared_ptr to non-const A".
You probably want 'shared_ptr<const A>'.
Thanks for all the help.
So is it safe to say I can replace all 'A*' in my program to
shared_ptr<A>?
I don't need to worry about scoped_ptr or other smart pointers in boost?
Yes, you can.
Make sure, you delete the delete(A)s!
